Have a look at NextGen and Maya And The Three on Netflix. Both were produced with Blender as the central 3D tool by my old employer, Tangent Animation. We delivered Maya in 2021; B…

The world is running on cold fusion, for starters.

Ludicrous abstraction story. I was once managing a few large file servers, with bog standard users as well as devs using a pretty complex directory tree of "assets". There was a pr…

He has entered the Find Out stage of the process.

Mastodon is an actual social network at the moment, but the ongoing flood of Twitter emigres have triggered a culture war that is getting some really funky permutations.

I'm more indifferent than hostile, but you don't need to become an admin. You do, however, have to find the instance that's right for you, and that will take effort. The only thing…

I was led to believe you could; when I left the main instance, I downloaded my data and have been planning to try uploading it to my new one but have not yet done so. But that's wh…

I replied to myself above, but it seems that there's a delay between a comment appearing and the ability to reply. My bad, OP, you are not censorious. edit: and you, speaking direc…

I'm not sure what's my favorite part of this question, but I think it's the fact that you undoubtedly have, like me, agreed to all sorts of outlandish terms on corporate EULAs. You…

It's strange, but I think I figured it out - there's some sort of delay, seemingly, between a response appearing in the thread and the option to reply being there. So let me leave …

Oh, also... >How many of the 1.8 million monthly active Mastodon users are doing weekly backups of their Mastodon data? I obviously do not have that information, but I would say th…

Again though, you need to examine your expectations here. These are not Admins who have qualified for a job - some might happen to be that, but most are not. Most are just people w…

That is not an unreasonable assumption, no, for a service . I would posit that your error is in thinking of Mastodon as a service, rather than a community of people trying to get a…

This fellow wants the same experience from a completely different system, seems to me, which is also the reason that the Twitter people have had so much static from the Mastodon pe…

"The experimental platform with no VC funding whatsoever messed up, I'm going back to the fascist wasteland that is trying to juice me for money by showing me enraging content."

Reads to me like a site by some group of billionaires or other serving some billionaire's agenda. I'm NDP by nature but Trudeau has earned my strong support at the federal level, a…

This smells like corporate propaganda to me. Notice how there is no "about us" page that tells you who created the page, who funds them, absolutely no way to attach this site to an…

I love this place, it's a magical land where Planned Obsolescence never happened.

This being ycombinator, before I would attempt to get on the same page with you, I would need to know your income level and how much time you spend walking on sidewalks without bod…

Funnily enough, we are once again faced with a choice between rational socialism of the kind that was implemented in the USA in the 1930s, or fascism of the kind that was implement…

There have been no options besides that paradigm. Laptops in the 90s had swappable batteries, as did phones. It's perfectly doable. You have the scent of someone with Apple stock.

Far as I'm concerned, medical devices should be "nationalized" to the degree that all designs are 100% open from the most easily-sourceable parts available and must be 100% interop…

At the moment, we are definitely changing - it will either be the introduction of socialism at a reasonable level, or completely unreasonable fascism.
